Well, I was reading somewhere that some people have done things like make a windows game, like Age of Wonders work well in full screen by moving it to another X Session.
this is what I saw in the winedb in one of the comments
# Launches a new X session on display 3. If you don't have an Nvidia
# card take out the "& nvidia-settings --load-config-only" part
xinit -- :3 -ac & nvidia-settings --load-config-only
# Goto game dir (modify as needed)
cd "/home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Age of Wonders/"
# Forces the system to have a break for 2 seconds, X doesn't launch
# instantly
sleep 2
# hide the X cursor
xsetroot -display :3 -cursor /home/user/empty.xbm /home/user/empty.xbm
# Launches game (modify as needed)
DISPLAY=:3 env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" WINEDEBUG=-all wine "C:\Program Files\Age of Wonders\AoW.exe"
Is there a way that I can make VirtualBox OSE to go full screen in another X session?
I am not very experienced with the terminal, so I am not exactly sure how to construct this. Also, is there a way I can make it so that after linux boots and logs in that the virtual machine starts up in another session and I can press like Ctrl+Alt+F6 and be in say Windows XP?
